30 Recipes to Celebrate Memorial Day 2021 Deliciously!

Memorial day 2021 foods

A collection of summer-inspired recipes to celebrate this Memorial Day deliciously. From THE BEST Pulled Chicken to a cold pizza that is a crowd-favorite; I have you covered this holiday!

Oh hello, 3-day long weekend! I so am looking forward to your sexy, carefree attitude, your grilling scents, and your tempting dishes! For most folks, Memorial weekend signifies the start of summer. Having relocated to Arizona it already feels like summer. It has been for the past 2 months.

We’ve been grilling since February and in the pool since March. I’m making pizzas nightly in Bella (my Authentic Pizza Oven) and now that I have Prometheus (my big green egg), I’m grilling almost daily too!  Yet folks back in Pittsburgh are finally putting their coats and boots away and hoping to uncover the pool for an 80-degree day.  Guys, I love you but I so don’t miss the weather there.

And while most of us attribute Memorial day with food and bbq, remember that’s about giving thanks to those that have served and still serve to protect you, your family, your friends and keep our country safe. It is because of their selflessness that we live free and are kept out of harm’s way.
